July 8 South Africa (Kenilworth) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m)
(8) ROCKANROLLIN made a pleasing debut up the straight at Kenilworth on May 21. Watch for sharp improvement, he can certainly win a race like this.
(11) BLACK EAGLE made massive improvement from his first run. He ran a lovely third behind his stable companion last time. Include him in all bets.
(12) DAY IN DAY OUT ran a much better race behind Spirit on June 12. He now steps up in trip again to 1,200m. He can finish among the placings.
(3) MARCUS AURELIUS ran a terrific race on debut. He should make the necessary improvement and earn some money for connections.
Race 2 (1,200m)
(4) WISH LIST ran a lovely race on debut behind Paralegal on June 12. If she has made the improvement back at home, she will be very difficult to beat in this race.
(1) PRECOCIOUS was beaten just over three lengths by Take It As Red last at first 1,400m test. She is much better than that run. Can bounce back now that she drops back in trip.
(10) QUEEN REGENT was beaten just under two lengths in third by Clair De Lune at Kenilworth on June 12. Good winning chance.
(7) PLAYFUL JOULES has been rested for 65 days. On best form, she could sneak into the places again with jockey Muzi Yeni up.
Race 3 (1,100m)
(4) MEU CAPITANO has been rested for 114 days. The 1,100m trip is no concern at all. He will be hard to beat in a race like this.
(5) KAIBOY ran super behind Arctic Wizard at Kenilworth on June 12. He will certainly be right there in the finish on his best form.
(2) GEM KING ran a fair race over 1,600m in the Winter Mile behind Sugar Mountain. He can mix it up with some of the best sprinters in the land on his day.
(1) DEAN STREET caused a major upset on June 21. Unfortunately he was given six points for that win, which will make life tougher for him now, but he is clearly in a good space at the moment.
Race 4 (1,700m)
(5) RED STATE has run some fair races of late in competitive open maidens. She should love the step-up in trip to 1,700m. Include her in all bets.
(8) RARE EARTH ran a much better race behind Ocotillo on June 12, at her first run over ground. She now steps up in trip to 1,700m. Further improvement on the cards.
(6) LUCKY THIRTEEN has been well tried in the maiden ranks. With some luck in running, she could sneak into the places.
(7) NOT WANTED finished just over six lengths behind Ariovistus last time. He is still learning the ropes. If he can build on his last performance, he will be right there.
Race 5 (1,400m)
(9) FOLLOW YOUR HEART won impressively on May 21. He will love the step-up in trip. If he can beat the draw, he is hard to beat.
(7) FIRINGONALLENGINES won a gutsy race up the straight over 1,200m on June 12. Every chance he will keep fighting all the way to the line. Include him into all bets.
(10) IN A TIMELY MANNER quickened up to win his debut like a very smart horse. He will love the step-up in trip to 1,400m. He will be running on strongly.
(11) MELA STRENGTH unfortunately draws poorly again. He will be doing some good work late. On his best form, he could sneak into the places at a decent price.
Race 6 (1,400m)
(1) GOLDEN ANGEL ran fairly behind Strawberry Thief on May 21. Drop in trip and good draw can see her get back into the winners' box.
(11) LA DIVINA won a super race on May 13. Drawn wide, but she has a good winning chance again.
(9) SUPREME FATE finished like a train behind Swiatek last time. With some luck in running, she will be right there in the finish.
(10) ONI SAN ran very good behind Swiatek on June 1. She can finish in the money.
Race 7 (1,100m)
(4) LOVERS LANE ran a cracker behind Firingonallengines last time. On that run, he will be hard to beat.
(10) GRAVITY has run two great races in succession. Good each-way chance in this race.
(7) CHAMPAGNE MAC finished five lengths behind his stable companion on May 21. Money chance.
(5) TAMBOURINE MAN has been rested for 83 days. If fresh, he could easily win a race like this.
